Privacy Policy, Data Protection
Data collected from visitors of this website is processed by nova AG (“nova AG”, “we”
or “us”) in its capacity as both provider of this website and a service provider. The abovementioned
services will be referred to hereinafter as the “digital presence”. Further details
about nova AG are available in the “About us” section of the website.
Protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. We therefore, as a matter of

statutory data protection provisions and postal legislation.
This Privacy Policy contains information for you about our data processing methods. We
explain what data will be processed by us whenever you access this website.
1. Who is the owner of the data collected?

2. What data do we collect?
In principle, our digital presence can be used without disclosing any personal data, unless

certain data such as IP addresses and other usage information, is collected automatically
and then analysed and processed anonymously by our web analytics software.
We will only ask you to provide the personal data we require to perform the services we
provide.

Our web servers automatically log every visit in a temporary log file. User-specific data
(the IP address of the requesting computer, identification data of the browser used, the
operating system of the requesting computer, the amount of data transferred, the name of
the Internet Service Provider, the date and time of access) and technical data (the name
and URL of the referring web page when the website was accessed via a link and,
additionally, the search term if it was accessed via a search engine) are logged and
analysed anonymously. First and foremost, this data is needed to enable the use of our
content (connection set-up), and is also used for system-related purposes, such as
technical administration and system security.
